Listen, man. Montrezl Harrell is a brave, brave man. Any person who can take a flagrant foul from Joel Embiid and not budge seems like somebody who you don’t really want to mess with.
That’s what Giannis Antetokounmpo did. And it wasn’t just any flagrant foul, either. Embiid gave the man an elbow to the gut. He really didn’t move.
Antetokounmpo was coming down the court in transition. Embiid is sliding and tries to stop him but is clearly out of position. The only thing he can do is foul, but he shouldn’t have fouled him this way. He gives him the elbow, but Antetokounmpo still gets up the shot and watches the ball after.
Embiid is somehow the one who ends up on the ground! It’s incredible.
Giannis doesn’t move after this Flagrant 1 from Embiid. 😳

If Antetokounmpo falls this is probably a flagrant 2. But, clearly, it wasn’t that big of a deal to him.
Embiid really hockey-checked that man. If it were a normal human being they’d probably have immediately exploded. I mean, that dude is 7 feet and 280 pounds. That’s a brick wall, fam.
But Giannis is Giannis. This is pretty incredible. Fans were blown away.
